With the winter holidays coming up, now is a excellent time to start ordering gifts. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to get someone, so today I am here to tell you about one of my personal favorite gifts: GIANTmicrobes.
Now, I’m sure you’re all wondering “what in the name of Newton is a GIANTmicrobe?!” Well, let me tell you: they are the single most amazing thing for every nerd–and even non-nerd–on your list! If you haven’t ever seen them, they are small plushies that can be held in your hand. Each one is a different (if you haven’t already guessed) microbe 😉 They have one for almost everything from a classic red blood cell to giardia to H1N1! One of my personal favourites is E. coli–it’s in my photo for the site 😉 They’re about $10 each.
If you’re looking for something with a bit more OOMF, I would recommend GIGANTICmicrobes. What are they, you ask? Well, imagine your average GIANTmicrobe. Now imagine it about the size of your pillow. Oh yes, nerdlings, THAT is amazing. Gigantics are about $30.
Lastly, if you’re looking for something smaller, you can’t go wrong with the microbe Petrie dishes 😀 They’re around $12 and have three mini microbes in a (you guessed it!) Petrie dish. So cute 😉

If you don't want to buy them off the internet, I know for sure you can get them at the Candy Kid Stand at the Farmer's Market here in Calgary, as well as several Toy Stores. They're awesome.
I. Want. It. NOW.
